RACHEL

Graduation 2014 // Edmonton, AB





Exactly three weeks ago, I watched my sister walk down the staircase. The staircase I walked down when I graduated high school three years ago. The staircase you carelessly run down when someone you've been anxiously awaiting is at the front door. The staircase we'd be walking down on each of our wedding days. Though just a staircase, the amount of sentimental value it holds blows it's physical significance out of the water. I can't tell you how many teary eyes and full hearts have been at the bottom of those stairs. So on this day in May, gasps were ushered, hugs were embraced, and an "oh my gosh, you're hot" was had from me... Couldn't help itttttt. Like, could you? Nooo. I'm so proud of Rachel for working hard and pulling through the woes of high school. And now it's finished! And soon, she'll be on a plane, passport and backpack in hand, flying over the Pacific waters to Hawaii for YWAM, starting her life adventure off right. I love you and you'll always be my best friend. 




Rachel is always posting a rad new post on her blog so do yourself a favour and check her out, if you haven't already!




THE SNOW OF APRIL





A week and a half ago the snow fell. Again. But this time, it was different, I wasn't resenting it. The flakes were voluminous and significant, but only staying a moment on the pavement. It was beautiful, I'm telling you. Joined together with a river valley of fog, it was the perfect.







MEGAN

A few weeks back when the snow had yet to exist, Megan and I headed out before sun rose, grabbed chai tea, 
and adventured out into the ravine. Megan is one of my dear cousins, just a year younger than I, who's heart is 
nothing like I've ever known before. She's compassionate, hard working, beautiful (obviously), and inexplicably 
wise for only nineteen. And Megan has always had a continual yearning to seek out, grow in, and live by, the 
Word.  On this morning we were expecting nothing but clouds so the pink sunrise ascending above the horizon 
had us still in our steps. In some frames, you can see the pink hues against her 
hair. Ahhhhh, so beautiful! 

And I love her so.
